What is spray foam insulation?

Spray foam insulation is a liquid foam that is sprayed onto a layer and then further expands to develop its insulating properties. The insulation can be applied to many areas such as the loft, roof, floors, walls and many more. Loft insulation for spray foam tends to be the most typical usage for spray foam.

There are a few types of spray foam insulation such as Icynene or Polyurethane spray foam. This type of insulation has been used for over 30 years now and is continuously growing in popularity. Spray foam can provide water-tight sealing as well as being much more effective as an insulator over common insulation materials like Fibreglass.

Spray Foam Insulation Cost: Spray Foam vs. Traditional Insulation

Before reading on, it is important to understand the cost-savings and other benefits that spray foam insulation provides.

Here is an image to illustrate some of the benefits that spray foam insulation provides when installed properly:

There are also many other benefits that spray foam insulation has over traditional types of insulation such as:

• Decreased decay rates

Fibreglass insulation decays overtime which will ultimately reduce the effectiveness of the insulation. Spray foam insulation, however, doesn’t… meaning that your insulation will be as effective as it has always been.

• Air leak prevention

Laying down fibreglass is a manual process with a lot of room for human error. A small air leak can decrease the effectiveness of your insulation dramatically. This will mean your hard work has gone to waste and will cost you more for a fix or more money down the road if left unattended.

• Minimal air impurities

Spray foam insulation is non-toxic after the installation. Compared to traditional types of insulation, you will have minimal alergens and dust if going for spray foam.

• Increased housing value

An efficient house is a valuable house. Energy efficiency is considered when pricing a house so having the most energy efficient insulation will no-doubt increase the value of your home.

Conclusion

In conclusion, spray foam insulation is generally more expensive than traditional types of insulation per square metre. However, considering the long term benefits that spray foam insulation provides, you will see generous returns that outperform traditional insulations in terms of savings.
